Short answer type Question
Q 12 What do you mean by neutral points for a bar magnet placed in
the geomagnetic field? What will be the positions of neutral points
for the bar magnet with its (i) north pole pointing north, (ii)
north pole pointing south? Show them with the help of suitable
diagrams

â€‹Dear student

Neutral point is the point where the net magnetic field due to
earth and the given magnet is equal to zero
In the case of magnetic north of earth magnetic field points in
the direction of north pole of the given magnet, two neutral points
lie on either sides of the magnet along the equatorial line of the
bar magnet
In the case of magnetic north of earth magnetic field points in
the direction of south pole of the given magnet, two neutral points
lie on either sides of the magnet along the axial line of the bar
magnet
